I believe my country does not utilize chess in schools as it could and should.But what’s even more distressing is that now we are having books banned on the civil war because they use the words race or white.We are not allowing books because they overly emphasize the negative effects of how the native Americans were treated.I expect the trail of tears to become a result of the native Americans poor decision making.One re-write has someone telling Rosa Parks that she must exit the bus because of the color of her skin.But it leaves out who are that they are white.

My company just banned chess because I was playing in the middle of closing a 12 million dollar contract, which we lost. I'm like, "What's the big deal? It's only a few million."
Put down your cell phone and pay attention to your teacher when you’re in school.
I like that it goes all over the place because in the end it comes back to the school banning Chess no matter what. New people respond everyday focusing it again.

@Trfulton25 They foreclosed on my mortgage and I'm living in my car, but I get to play chess all day long!
Eh, I'm homeschooled so I don't have to worry about that
That is so stupid
Lmao most random conversation ever
Yea but my school unbanned it so it's ok now
catcher in the rye was totally overated, its known as a literary materpiece. imo this is due to the Streisand effect. so barbara Streisand tried to hide the location of her malibu beach home and was crucified by people magazine and every media outlet on earth it became a conspiracy, aliens, she's hiding human experimentation on small children all bc she wanted privacy. Thi is what happend to the book. It became banned in schools then states then countries such a japan sensationalizing it. what im saying is that this is may suck for you but chess.com could see upside if there's correlation from increased traffic the more schools that due this the better it is for chess.com.
The Catcher in the Rye themes resonate with ideas that high school English teachers found students could relate to in the 1960s and 1970s. It has endured because those children grew up, became teachers, and found the same with another generation of students. It is also superb writing. Although the story is simple, the character of Holden Caulfield comes alive.
It’s kind of funny that it remains so popular. That kid who was kicked out of prep school turns 88 this year.
